Our Extended Family


I don't think I have introduced our blog readers to our extended family of beagles. Yes, my parents have 3 dogs that keep them busy. The other weekend we were home and Chris took some super cute pictures of them that I just had to post. They are the sweetest dogs and each has their unique personality.
This is a quick story of each.
Romeo-my parents got him when my brother went off to college. My brother went to The Citadel and he was in Romeo company. I think my mom intended for him to be the only one. He is super shy and loves to be scratched.

Juliet-Can you really have a "Romeo" without a "Juliet?" My dad surprised us all by getting a companion a year later for Romeo. No way would mom agree to have a second dog, but eventually she gave in and she stayed. Juliet is pretty low key and love to sit in my dads lap every night.
Lucy-Actually Chris and I picked out Lucy at the Greenville Humane Society shortly after we started dating. She was a stray, but we quickly learned that she was crate trained and house broken. Due to my driving schedule with work, I would drop Lucy off to play with her "cousins." Eventually mom and dad decided they wanted to keep her and we weren't getting her back. Yes, that is the really abbreviated version. Lucy rules the group. She likes to get undivided attention and especially loves to sleep in moms lap.

Clemson football is finally here!

Finally! Football season is here and we are so ready! There aren't many things that are much more exciting than watching the Tigers run down the hill, tailgating with friends, and counting down the weeks (in single digits) until Baby Lack arrives. Yesterday was the kickoff of the Clemson season and we had a blast. This year we decided to not purchase season tickets because we knew that due to the baby coming in November, we would not be able to attend all the games. A big thanks to the Clemson Career Center for the complimentary tickets to their Corporate Partners, we enjoyed the game in the shade and free of charge! And we couldn't have asked for better weather: high 87...not a normal temperature level for the first game. Usually we are lathered up with sunscreen, sweating like pigs, and still home with a sunburned tiger paw on my left cheek. Baby Lack was so excited to be there, he kept bouncing the whole time.
I did pay extra attention to the families that were juggling kids while at the game and I will admit I am a little nervous already for next year. How do you entertain a 10 month old when you barely have any elbow room. Any tips from those are successful at entertaining a child and watching a game? I have a feeling this is where grandparents come in handy! :)
Below are some pictures from the day. GO TIGERS!

Could it be possible...


that I can have access to my favorite Girl Scout cookies ALL year long? I think they are just like the Caramel Delights/Samoas that are sold in February.
Has anyone tried these yet?
